Have you had enough yet?
If Miley Cyrus were running for president, this monster wave of twerking, naked tears and teddy bears would carry the pop star all the way to the White House.
The 20-year-old singing sensation has lobbed perhaps the most successful summer campaign of any artist charting today.
Hate it or love it - Cyrus' fourth studio album "Bangerz" drops on Tuesday and the record is poised to top the charts, potentially knocking off current king Drake.

"There are albums that people are still listening to, like Michael Jackson's 'Bad', because it's so f---king dope," Cyrus told Rolling Stone magazine recently. "I want people to listen to my album like that."
It's a hefty comparison for a body of work that has already been panned by some critics and lauded by others, but ultimately the music isn't mattering as much as Miley's image.
A month later, many are still talking about her controversial performance at the Video Music Awards on August 29.
"Every VMA performance, that's what you're looking for; you're wanting to make history," Cyrus said, addressing her raunchy stage show with Robin Thicke in her MTV documentary "Miley: The Movement."

The singer shocked viewers with stage antics that included twerking and grinding on married Thicke, 36, and using a foam finger to simulate oral sex. The documentary was filmed around the award show, including her rehearsals leading up to it, and aired October 2.
"What's amazing is I think now, we're three days later and people are still talking about it," she told MTV.
"They're overthinking it … You're thinking about it more than I thought about it when I did it. Like, I didn't even think about it 'cause that's just me."
Then, Cyrus showed more of "just her" than ever before. The singer sent parents into an ear-steaming frenzy when she premiered the music video for her second single "Wrecking Ball" on September 9 - which sees the pop star swinging nude on a bulldozing ball.
